Breakfast At Cafe' du Monde

The coffee is strong at the Cafe' du MondeAnd the donuts are too hot to touchBut just like a fool, when those sweet goodies coolI eat 'til I eat way too much'Cause I'm living on things that excite meBe they pastry or lobster or loveI'm just trying to get by being quiet and shyIn a world full of pushing and shoving.From "The Wino and I Know" by Jimmy Buffett

While we were in the French Quarter we paid the obligatory visit to Cafe' du Monde to have beignets for breakfast, though we did not partake of the cafe au lait for which the Cafe' du Monde is famous. We ate there two times, sharing two orders of beignets, which was two each for each meal. Breakfast, including soft drinks and milk was under $12.00, which is about as cheap as you can eat in the French Quarter.
